Pasco, WA 2008: Winning against your opponent (like Satan) is just half the battle. Beyond that, you must survive the course on which the ministry has been set by God. Treacherous and unpredictable, it never lacks excitement, danger, or reward.

From Trent Ling:

This ministry offers no easy course.  We live the actual Bible with its narrow road winding through valleys, mountains, enemies, and impossible passages.  Surviving the ride cannot be done in the flesh.

This message attempts to lay out a way to survive in the faith in a ministry that does not water down the standard to suit men or the whims of men.

Hold on today!

This message features the reading and preaching of the following Scriptures:

Lamentations 2:13-14

Isaiah 30:9-11, 15-16

Proverbs 15:31

Proverbs 29:1

2 Corinthians 7:8-10
